Holy Trinity, Plaistow
Our Church of England Parish covers a wide area, encompassing the three villages of Plaistow, Ifold & Kirdford. For this reason we have two churches (in Plaistow and Kirdford), centres of worship and symbols of the spiritual life of the Parish for many centuries.
NOTE THAT KIRDFORD CHURCH IS OPEN FOR SUNDAY WORSHIP AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THE MAJOR PART OF ITS ROOF REPAIRS; HOWEVER, IT IS NOW CLOSED DURING THE WEEK UNTIL SPRING 2009 FOR THE FINAL PHASE OF THE REPAIRS.
All are welcome to join our Sunday and mid-week worship - see service details under "OUR NEWS" below. Plaistow church is open during the day for visitors and private prayer.
Plaistow church (Holy Trinity) is a Victorian gem – a stone-built church with two Kempe stained glass windows (see the link at the bottom of this page for details).
Kirdford church (St. John the Baptist) is an impressive stone-built medieval church with features from Saxon & Norman times. It also contains Kempe stained glass windows, and its bell tower houses six bells that are rung regularly.
